Delete a client record

Accounting CS lets you, under specific conditions, select a client for complete and permanent deletion. When you delete a client record, the application deletes all related client data from the database, resulting in a smaller sized database. Once the client record is deleted, the client ID, EIN, and name of that client are available for use for another client.
You may want to delete a client record under any of the following circumstances:
  • The client record was added in error.
  • A CSA client conversion was done with incorrect options selected or with an unexpected result.
  • The client record was added with critical errors making data correction impractical.
You can't delete a client record if the client is the Firm client.
